No stop will be made except at points
above mentioned, and in no instance can
time given to cities be extended. The
fact that the journey is timed
TO meet fixed engagements will pre-
vent any exceptions to this determination,
but through the day, in passing all
places of any considerable size, the train
( viii run at slow speed. All reception
committees have been requested TO meet
the president at their respective cities
instead of en- route, as has been proposed
in several instances. This is to enable
the party to get as much rest and quiet
as possible while travelling. At the sug-
gestion of the president much of the pro-
possl speech making at places to be Wis
tied has been abandoned, and instead an
important feature in the programme at
each place will be carriage rides about
cities, over previously announced routes,
which will crafty his desire to see towns
and their people, and enable the people
to see the president, without the discom-
forts and dangers attending crowded
rooms and platforms.
Formal acceptance of the invitations
from these cities will now be made earlier,
notice having been impossible on account
OF the uncertainty as to route and dates.
